Double E Expansion Gains Commercial Traction. Summit Midstream announced additional long-term transportation commitments on its Double E Pipeline, bringing open season commitments to 250 MMcf/d and total contracted capacity to approximately 1.9 Bcf/d. Demand has exceeded available expansion capacity, prompting the company to extend its open season through June 30, 2026, while continuing negotiations with prospective shippers. Management remains on track to reach a final investment decision by the end of summer and has secured key compressor equipment to support a targeted late-2028 in-service date.

Strong Demand Supports Capacity Expansion. The Double E Compression Expansion would increase pipeline capacity by approximately 50%, from 1.6 Bcf/d to 2.4 Bcf/d, further strengthening its role as a key natural gas takeaway system in the Delaware Basin. In addition to the 250 MMcf/d of binding commitments secured, Summit holds a firm option agreement for another 200 MMcf/d and continues discussions with shippers whose interest exceeds available capacity. The strong commercial response reduces project risk and underscores continued demand for Permian Basin natural gas infrastructure.
